Chapter 1988 You suspect the wolf demon killed people with a specific purpose?
Upon hearing Wu Feng's words, the Prince of Zhennan said thoughtfully, "The other shore flower? If I remember correctly, this should be the symbolic emblem of the Yellow Springs Cult, right?"
Wu Feng said, "Yes."
The Prince of Zhennan thought for a moment, then continued, "So, this wolf demon is someone from the Yellow Springs Sect in disguise."
Wu Feng said, "That seems to be the case at present."
The Prince of Zhennan tapped his hand lightly on the wooden table, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long pause, he looked at Wu Feng and said, "You go back first tonight."
Wu Feng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Feng turned and left the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
After Wu Feng left, the Prince of Zhennan remained seated, continuing to ponder the matter of the Yellow Springs Cult.
He wondered whether the Yellow Springs Cult was a human sect or a sect created by some mysterious force.
Previously, they focused their investigation on the Heavenly Fortune Sect, but now it seems that the Yellow Springs Sect may also have problems, otherwise why would they have planted spies in the Town of Ghosts?
The news of the wolf demon's slaying spread throughout the capital the very next day.
The people of the capital breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the wolf demon had been killed.
Of course, this is only temporary. After all, there is still a bigger threat that has not been resolved. To this day, neither the Zhennan Prince's Mansion nor the Zhengui Division has discovered any strange traces of those places.
The Council Hall of the Bureau of Deception.
When the Prince of Zhennan arrived at the council hall, all the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division had already arrived.
Today, Lu Chen also came to the Zhengui Division with the King of Zhennan. He was also very curious about the Yellow Springs Cult.
The Heavenly Fortune Sect suddenly produced four bizarre founders. If the Yellow Springs Sect was also founded in a bizarre way, then perhaps the Yellow Springs Sect also has bizarre founders.
It's not that any sect that has planted spies in the Zhengui Division is related to the supernatural.
However, judging from the way the Yellow Springs Cult operates, this sect does seem to have some connection with the supernatural.
This sect has been too low-key in the past, which gives the impression that they want to blend in with humanity.
After the Prince of Zhennan sat down in the main seat, he glanced at the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division in the council hall and said, "Please sit down."
As soon as the Prince of Zhennan finished speaking, everyone sat down in unison.
At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan looked at Fan Yaodong and asked, "Did that wolf demon not have the Demon Pearl inside it?"
Fan Yaodong replied, "Yes, our people dissected the wolf demon's body from head to toe, but they did not find the Ghost Pearl, and there was no trace of it on its body."
If an evil spirit has a mysterious pearl inside its body, then after the evil spirit dies, the evil spirit's energy will often concentrate at one point.
A skilled martial artist can easily locate the Mysterious Pearl.
Upon hearing Fan Yaodong's answer, the Prince of Zhennan thought for a moment and then said, "So, this wolf demon really is a former Earth Realm expert of the Yellow Springs Sect who was transformed after suffering a backlash from spiritual energy."
At this point, the Prince of Zhennan glanced at everyone in the hall and then asked, "How much do you know about the Yellow Springs Cult?"
The high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division in the hall looked at each other.
Like the Prince of Zhennan, they didn't know much about the Yellow Springs Cult. If Lu Chen hadn't found the Yellow Springs Cult's spies among the Zhengui Guard last time, they probably would have forgotten that the Yellow Springs Cult even existed.
Although the Yellow Springs Cult flourished for a period of time, its prosperity was too short and did not leave much of an impression on people.
Judging from the expressions of everyone in the hall, the Prince of Zhennan knew that they also knew little about the Yellow Springs Cult. He then said, "I suspect that this Yellow Springs Cult may also be a mysteriously created force."
Upon hearing the Prince of Zhennan's guess, everyone fell silent.
While it is indeed possible, they have no evidence.
After the spies of the Heavenly Fortune Sect were captured, they were able to clearly state that their sect was a mysterious force. However, after the spies of the Yellow Springs Sect were captured, the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts was unable to obtain any information about the Yellow Springs Sect from them.
At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan looked at Wu Feng of the Investigation Bureau and said to Wu Feng, "Next, send a group of people to thoroughly investigate this Yellow Springs Cult."
Wu Feng bowed and said, "Yes."
After Wu Feng finished speaking, the council hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again.
The atmosphere in the Town of Ghosts has been so somber lately, mainly because they haven't been able to find any trace of the Heavenly Fortune Cult, nor have they been able to uncover the mystery of the village massacre.
The only way they could think of to draw out those strange places was to get Lu Chen to leave the capital. However, the higher-ups in the Zhengui Division also knew that Lu Chen was the only son of the Zhennan King, and the Zhennan King would not allow Lu Chen to leave the capital and take such a big risk. If something happened, the Zhennan King would be without an heir. So they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Lu Chen sat on a wooden chair on the right side of the hall, looking at the high-ranking members of the Town Ghost Bureau. Seeing their lifeless appearance, Lu Chen took the initiative to ask, "Does the Town Ghost Bureau have any clues about the strange massacre of the village?"
Lu Chen's voice broke the silence of the council hall.
At this moment, Lu Yu spoke up: "Not yet. The strange creature can hide its aura. Unless we can catch the strange creature that massacred the village on the spot, it will be very difficult to find it once it hides among the crowd."
At this point, Lu Yu gave Lu Chen a meaningful look.
Currently, only Lu Chen has the potential to identify the strange beings. If Lu Chen doesn't help, then the Zhengui Division's attempt to find those five Earth Realm strange beings is nothing short of a pipe dream.
However, even if Lu Chen can identify the strange identity, he is the only one who can do so.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is so vast that even if a strange creature were to hide in any corner, Lu Chen would never encounter it.
Therefore, the best approach is to use Lu Chen as bait to lure out the strange creatures and capture them all at once.
Lu Chen then said, "I heard that no fewer than thirty villages around the capital have been massacred. If it was done by the supernatural, there would be no way there wouldn't be any clues. The way it was handled is too clean."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence once again.
The current situation is that the Zhengui Division has indeed not found any useful clues.
So far, they can only guess that the culprit behind the massacre is something strange, but they don't know whether it is a strange thing or an evil spirit. They are completely in the dark.
At this moment, the higher-ups of the Zhengui Division really wanted to suggest that Lu Chen be used as bait to lure the strange creatures into making a move.
However, considering Lu Chen's identity, they had no choice but to keep quiet.
After a long while, the Prince of Zhennan spoke up: "Since there are no clues outside the city, let's turn our attention to the city and focus on investigating this wolf demon. Let's find out its true identity."
Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Zhennan, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and then said to Lu Yu, "Lord Lu, please compile the case of the massacre of the entire family by this wolf demon into a dossier for me later."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Prince of Zhennan asked, "Do you suspect that the wolf demon killed people with a specific purpose?"
Lu Chen said, "It's hard to say. We'll have to see who he killed."
Normally, after humans suffer from the backlash of evil spirits and become evil beings, they are without self-awareness for a considerable period of time. Therefore, they kill without purpose, purely for the sake of killing.
However, this is only under normal circumstances. If the people killed by that wolf demon all share common characteristics, then it proves that the wolf demon is conscious. Once it is proven that the wolf demon is conscious, then the Bureau of Demon Suppression will be able to investigate much more. (End of this chapter)
